Determining with Spirit

The Mature Magician determines with spirit. He makes decisions by consulting something bigger than his own logic, his feelings, or his gut. He reaches for a kind of knowing that sits underneath all of those, past what his ego wants to hear.

The Manipulator hides his ego behind "spirituality," claiming divine backing for selfish aims. He mistakes his opinions for cosmic truth and spiritual superiority. The Dummy ignores spirit entirely, trusting only what can be measured and proven. The Mature Magician blends spiritual awareness with reason, emotion, and embodied knowing. Each informs his choices without dominating them.

Determining with spirit means:

Ask the deeper question: Move beyond "What do I want?" to "What wants to happen through me?" and "What serves the highest good?" This opens the heart to guidance beyond personal desire and fear.

Listen for guidance: Make space for silence, meditation, prayer, or contemplation. Notice subtle intuitions and the sense of rightness that emerges. Quiet signals vanish in a noisy world.

Notice synchronicity: Pay attention to meaningful coincidences and signs. Sometimes a chance meeting or a recurring pattern is just noise. Sometimes it's pointing at something. The Magician stays alert to the difference.

Feel into alignment: Does this choice sit right in the body, or does something feel off even though the logic checks out? That inner signal is worth trusting, especially after years of learning to read it honestly.

Seek sacred counsel: Talk to someone who has walked this road longer than you. There are things you can't see about your own situation that someone with more miles on them will spot in five minutes.

Discernment integrates spirit with mind, heart, and body. Spirit reveals purpose. Mind evaluates options. Heart serves love. Body grounds truth in reality.

The Magician draws on wisdom larger than himself, and that changes what he decides and why. He stops asking "what do I want?" and starts asking "what's being asked of me?"
